[TriLUG] Getting URLs for iTunes Podcasts

[Owen Berry]

For those who want to listen to podcasts made available via iTunes, yet
do not use iTunes (like if you're running some crazy OS like *LINUX*,
ahem!), you can find out the URL to the RSS feed via:

https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?id=ddddd

... where ddddd is the iTunes store id of the podcast. For example:

https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?id=74069835

Unfortunately, if you're only provided with a description of how to find
the podcast in iTunes (e.g. open iTunes and search for trilug), you're
going to have to use iTunes to find out that id (I think you can right
click on the podcast) and then use the above URL. However, some sites
link directly to iTunes with the id in the URL, which you can then grab.

BTW, this URL is described in the podcaster's documentation on
troubleshooting your podcast.
